CHAPTER 12

Shermi informs Avinash

Shermi came to the balcony with tears in her eyes. She was in deep thought.

“Avi, I love you so much, I can’t stay without you for even one minute. But see, my marriage is being fixed. My uncle is a very dangerous man. If he comes to know, he will definitely kill me. I don’t know what to do.”

Shermi got up and took Avinash’s photo. She looked at his face.  “My mother has seen the burka. What shall I do tomorrow? How can I be with you without burkha?”

She picked up the cell and rang up Avinash. “Avi, I can’t live without you even for a minute.”

Avinash said on phone, “I too feel like that. My mind is always full of your thoughts.”

Shermi started crying bitterly.

Avinash was shocked. He asked on phone, “What’s the matter? Why are you crying?”

Shermi cried on phone, “My uncle had come today. They have fixed the date of my engagement for the 20^th of next month. What will happen to me? I want to die.”

Avinash was shocked, “Don’t talk like that. If you die, why should I live? I will also die with you. But this is not the solution to the problem.”

“Tell me what to do.”

“I am thinking about that only.”

“I can’t live without you. If I got married, it will be with you only. Otherwise they will see my dead body.”

“Don’t worry. I will think of a plan. Still we have time.”

“What time? Even the engagement date has been fixed. Also, my uncle has given 50 lakhs worth of gold ornaments for my marriage. He even gave 30 lakhs of cash to be given as dowry.”

Avinash was shocked to hear this. He said coolly, “Is it? So your uncle is a very rich man I think.”

Shermi said, “He is a very big builder. He is a very powerful man and that is why I am so scared of him.”

“You don’t worry. I will think of a good plan.”

“f they come to know about our affair, they will not allow me to go out of the house. My uncle is that type of man. He is god father to my parents and they listen to all that he says.”

“Eh! Don’t worry. My plans are always successful. See how safe you are now in the burka. Because of that only we are now able to have such fun. You trust my plans don’t you?”

Shermi smiled. “Sure. You are very naughty and also very dangerous man.”

“Am I a villain to you?”

“Sorry, I did not mean that. You are my hero.”

“Is it so? Then give me a hot kiss.”

“I have put my entire burden on you. I will do whatever you say. Have your kiss.”

Shermi gave him a kiss on the cell.

Avinash said, “That was soft. I want a hot kiss. A more natural one.”

Shermi laughed. “Tomorrow, I will give you a natural kiss.”

“I will be ready at 8 am itself.” Said Avinash eagerly.
